The page of "Nikko Futaarasan Shrine" now has been uploaded:
Nikko Futaarasan Shrine was also Holy Land of mountain worship together with Rinnoji Temple. After Nikko
Toshogu Shrine was built in the Edo Age (1603 - 1868) , these shrines and the temple became the subjects
of faith.
The entrance of these holy shrines and Rinnoji Temple used to be the "Shinkyo" Bridge, means the bridge
of God in Japanese.
The current bridge was re-built in 1904 and is designated as an important property of Japan.
In May, red color of the Shinkyo Bridge well matched with fresh green of trees along Ohya River.
The Shinkyo Bridge belongs to Nikko Futaarasan Shrine. But, the main area of Nikko Futaarasan Shrine is
located behind Rinnoji Temple and west side of Nikko Toshogu Shrine. If you walk to the west from Nikko
Toshogu Shrine, you will see a two-storied gate of the shrine.
After passing through the two-storied gate, you will see the main hall and the Worship Hall.
These two buildings are designated as important properties of Japan.
After visiting Nikko Futaarasan Shrine, I headed for "Daiyuin", where the grave of the third "Shogun",
TOKUGWA Iemitsu (1604 - 1651) , is located.
The architecture of the Main Hall is very gorgeous style.
